Camassia Care Must-Knows
Camassia plants grow best in full sun and moist, fertile, well-drained soil. They will tolerate part shade and a woodland planting area. Like other spring bulbs, camassia is planted in the fall. Plant bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep and 6 inches apart. Water well and cover the soil with a 2-inch layer of mulch. Camassia varieties bloom best when they get ample moisture during the spring growing season. Water plants as needed to maintain a moist—not wet—growing environment. After blooming, camassia foliage slowly turns yellow. Allow the foliage to turn completely yellow before removing it. Plants go dormant in midsummer. Got bulb questions? We’ve got answers.
Make a Bouquet
This long-lasting cut flower is a favorite of florists. Make your own bouquet by snipping stems shortly after the lowest flowers begin to open. The remainder of the flowers on the stem will open in the coming days. Cut flowers in the early morning to avoid heat stress and quickly plunge stems into a pail of water. When arranging in a vase, recut the stems and place the bouquet in a cool, brightly lit location.
